Write a comment
LIVINGSTON — Livingston Volunteer Fire Department received a $20,000 grant to purchase new fire/rescue equipment through the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance. The grant was used to purchase a spreader, cutter and ram for use in vehicle extrications and in forcible entry at emergency scenes.
The department would like to thank the Texas A&M Forest Service for the grant that allowed them to purchase the equipment.
